Lizard huffed, moving the large boxes to the tablets set up around the room. During her travels, she had discovered a town preparing for a Valentine's Day event. Having no one to spend the day with, she decided to stick around and help. It always made her happy to see the young couples spend a loving day together; giving each other roses, buying giant stuffed bears... Reminded her of her youth. It'd been years since she had last had a Valentine for the special day. As a traveler, it just never seemed practical. Didn't stop her from loving the holiday, however. This time of year always smelled the sweetest.
Opening a box of strong smelling chocolates, Lizard smiled softly. These were some of her favorites. She still enjoyed picking up a pack or two whenever she had the spare change to do so. Such a specific brands... Only one of her Valentines ever recalled it. What was their name...?
"Lizard!"
Her name being called snapped her back to reality as Amorette called her name.
"Stop your daydreaming!" The winged Kalon called, arranging boxes, "We've got more boxes to move and tables to set up before tomorrow!" Her sharp tone softened. "Sorry. I always worry things won't be ready in time. Just please get back to work as soon as you can."
As Amorette went back to her work, Lizard returned to the stack of boxes on the far wall and hefted up two that would labeled with the same brand of chocolates as before, carrying off to different tables. She'd have to lay them out on the tables later, but the heavy lifting had to be done first.
As soon as the chocolate was sorted out, Lizard felt her mind become distracted once more. The name... Who was that Valentine? It'd been so many years, it'd be expected that one wouldn't remember. But it was eating at her.
She could let herself dwell on it too much. The Kalon was probably miles away. Married with kids of their own. Lizard sighed as she grabbed some streamers to hang up. Her mind lingered on the topic for hours more while she finished up the last of her promised work for Amorette. She waved good-bye and headed to tonight's home.
Lizard lay in bed, eyes closed as she tried to wrap herself in sleeps warm blanket, when her eyes snapped open and a name, foreign yet familiar, flashed in her mind. She whispered it aloud.
"Petra."

Writing Prompt Day Five:

Dustin shivered in the light February snow. It was the night before Valentine's day and he should be home, snuggled up in bed with a fairy tale and getting some shut eye. Instead the little Kalon found himself sitting in front of an old abandoned factory in the side of town that most certainly wasn't going to be celebrating any day of love come next morning. He shivered again,this time not really from the cold, and glanced between the large wooden door before him and the photo he held in his paws. They were almost identical, same dull sunset red brick framing the same dark wooden door, both with an intricate heart carved in the very center- a series of swoops and flourishes framing an antique knocker. Someone had tagged the real door with bright neon pink and red spray painted intials, which is Dustin's unprofesional opinion didn't look very good. Otherwise they were exactly the same. This had to be the right place.

Which led Dustin to his next question; why was he here? The obvious answer being he had walked, following the directions enclosed in the musty envelope he had received along with the photo until he had found himself where he was now. Perhaps it had been a bad idea to venture to this part of the neighborhood alone, without even telling his parents where he was going, but what had he been supposed to do? The Kalon who had pressed the envelope to his chest had implored him in a desperate whisper to come alone that night, and who was he to refuse such an earnest request? Especially since she had given him toffee. It was very good toffee

"Uh, hello?" Dustin stepped under the eaves of the factory stoop and shook a thin layer of snow off his fur, it would be rude to track the outside inside after all. He lifted the knocker and let it fall once, loud and sudden. The door simply swung inwards and Dustin shivered again. Surely there were no such thing as Valentine's spirits right? "Hello?' No one was answering his call so Dustin took a shaky breath and entered.

Immediately after taking a step inside the Kalon felt his body fill with warmth and his tense muscles relaxed. Surely no ghosts or other beasties would reside in such a well lit area? The factory stretched far past what his tired eyes could make out, but what he could see amazed him. Little eggshell doves swooped under a vaulted golden ceiling, garlands of what looked like folded origami hearts drooped like criss-crossing pink and red snakes, and boxes, oh so many boxes, were piled haphazardly in towers that stretched to the sky. It was all Dustin could do not to fall over in awe!

"Can I help you?"

Out from behind a particularly large tower flew a light pink Kalon adorned with a big red bow. Actually flew. With little white wings and everything. Dustin blinked and opened his mouth to speak, but nothing came out. He wasn't dreaming this right? This was actually happening? Surely even he couldn't imagine something this wondrous! Finally the Kalon found his voice again.

"Actually, I think I'm the one who should be asking that?"

The female Kalon giggled and clapped her paws together delighted, descending right in front of him and greeting him with a French cheek kiss. A stunned Dustin managed to return it without too much hassle, which excited the other Kalon even more. Dustin wondered if she had gotten enough sleep or if this amount of giggling was normal.

"So you must be Dustin! Thank goodness. I'm Amorette. I'm in charge of Valentine's day if you haven't noticed." She swept a proud paw at her set up before continuing, "Unfortunately I've been a bit short staffed. The doves are nice but a bit bird-brained if you know what I mean." She giggled again and Dustin, who had finally gotten over his shock, laughed along with her.

"But what do you need me for? Why me?"

"Oh, your imagination of course. You see-"

And with that simple statement Dustin's mind was rocketing through the possibilities. Imagination? What could she possibly want with that? Maybe she needs me to create a new line of Valentines, globally themed! Maybe she has a sleigh like Santa's except hers is pulled by dove's like Aphrodite's and the doves eat imagination and she needs me to donate some! Or maybe she has a really dangerous journey to make to deliver a special letter and only those with the purest of-

"-I need you to sort through all these letters by region and county."

Wait what?

Dustin's confusion and disappointment must have shone through on his face because Amorette just giggled again and patted his head rather patronizingly.

"Sorry Dustin, nothing exciting for you to do today. I needed you because no matter who you told about this no one would believe you. Gotta keep the trade secrets in the trade am I right"

Oh well that made more sense. A bit disappointed and slightly hurt but still ready and willing to help Dustin nodded and let himself be led to the first box. It was chock full of letters and notes of every kind and language. Just looking at them made the Kalon feel a bit woozy. But he listened dutifully as Amorette explained the sorting system and demonstrated it to him before she headed off to attend to a few final duties. He picked the first card up gingerly and examined it. It was a Gækkebrev by the looks of it so it went in the Nothern European Box for Germany. Simple enough. The next one was in a language he barely recognized and Japanese which he sorted into the Lower Asian Box. On and on he went, examining and sorting, and making up stories along with each card to pass the time. It was pretty fun actually even if his eyes were hurting with all the words.

Dustin had cleared the very last box in his row when the sun started to tingle the fur on his back. He let out a large yawn and stretched, examining his paws for a paper cut he could feel but couldn't see. He absolutely hated when that happened.

"All sorted?"

"Hmm?" A large yawn, "Oh. Yeah."

Amorette seemed to notice the drooping of the little Kalon's eyelids because she smiled softly and knelt down on the floor.

"Climb on." She patted a paw on her shoulders, indicating for Dustin to sit. He did so carefully, trying to arrange himself so he wasn't pinning her delicate wings in a awkward appreciation. His paws grasped her scruff for dear life as Amorette lifted off into the air and ascended through a skylight. Wind whistled past his ears as they flew and Dustin would swear he didn't breath the whole time they were sky-born. He could hear his heart pounding even when they landed in front of his house and he tumbled into the snow.Seconds later her popped back out.

"Again!"

"Ha, not this time kiddo. You're getting heavy, besides I have cards to deliver don't I?"

"Oh, right." Dustin grinned as Amorette rose back up and started back the way she came and continued waving frantically until she was just a pink speck in the sky and enough feeling had returned to his paws to tell him he was freezing. And tired. And hungry. But despite this uncomfort Dustin was bursting with happiness as he stumbled up the frozen steps to his house. He had just helped save Valentine's Day, what a story this would make! And it was a true on this time, he was sure of it! But what had Amoretter meant by getting? Had he down this before? Nah. Dustin shook free the snow and the thought from his grey fur. He'd have remembered!

Tiara - XXX

Tia looked to the right then she looked to the left, she smirked to herself as she stretched out and yawned. It seemed as if Amorette had disappeared, which means she was quite content with that thought as she sprawled out on her bed. She hated Kalontine's day and wasn't too sure as to why Amorette wanted her to help prepare for it. Just as Tia was about to close her eyes she heard a very familiar cheerful voice snap her out of her sleepiness, right on her left was Amorette. Not only was it Amorette but it was an Amorette with a ton of decorations in her paws, of all sorts too! There were streamers, papers, balloons, hats, and much more. It was a bit surprising and stressing to see such a small thing carry that much, but it probably has to do with the fact that this woman was very persistent with decorating for Kalontines day and wouldn't let something so small get in her way. "Tiaarraa! ~ " Amorette sang in a sing song voice.
"Guess what I brought!" Tiara shook her head grumpily and sighed tiredly, "the decorations. How wonderful.." She drawled out, Amorette grinned at her and pulled Tiara to her feet. "Its time to get ready, here are the streamers!" She giggled out handing, Tiara the streamers. And things seemed to roll right afterwards, Tiara had quickly put up a couple streamers before deciding to make a pillow out of the rest to prepare herself for Kalontine's day. On the other hand Amorette seemed to flash around the house faster than light, zooming all over the place with her fluttering tiny wings as she decorated everything.
And soon enough the house was filled with decorations with hearts and love in them, Amorette snickered contentedly with herself as she stared around and saw Tiara sleeping. With that she quietly tiptoed over to her before placing some roses and a heart in her hair before rushing out of the door to get ready for tomorrow.

...Amorette goes around making sure everything is in place when she realized, the task she had to do. She quickly rushes back to her own home and sighs, "Oh great. Everything is ready but my own home. I have to get ready for the party." Darting around quickly, Amorette dusts the shelves, wipe down the tables, vacuum up the carpet, and shines the plate and windows. Everything is clean and now all she needs is... decorations!!

...Amorette searches her closet and storage room to gather any and all decorations she has with her. She peeks a glance at the clock on the wall and gasp. "I have a meeting in 30 minutes!!!" she shouts out loud to herself. She zooms through the living space putting up red streamer and roses, setting up the dining table and organizing the front where she will be welcoming and checking in guests. Amorette wipes off her sweat from her forehead as she looks at her perfectly decorated home. With few minutes till the meeting, Amorette stops herself from admiring the work and hurries along to the meeting.

xxxxxthe sun was starting to drop in the sky, and the cold winter wind was harsh against his skin, but bennett was still out at the park. there wasn't much to do there -- it was covered in snow, and ben wasn't dressed to mess around in the winter weather. he wasn't there to be productive, though. he was there to mope.
xxxxxbennett still couldn't take his mind off of his last encounter with charlie, his crush. he'd given him roses, chocolate, and a corny love letter, but... he was rejected under the premise that his proposal was a joke. how was he ever going to speak to charlie again? ben didn't care that he was "friendzoned", he just wanted to be able to hang out without feeling like a loser. after embarrassing himself like that, he didn't think he was capable of just hanging out with him.
xxxxxout of the corner of his eye, ben noticed something bright pink walking by. a pretty girl, lugging a huge bag bursting at the seams with letters, was marching by. her little wings were flapping, but she didn't even get off the ground.
xxxxxhe felt his heart pop out of his chest.
xxxxxbennett knew he spent too much time crushing on others, but he couldn't help himself. she's beautiful! she's angelic! she's... just what i need to cure my heartbreak!
xxxxxben darted over to the pink kalon. "hey, do you need any help with these letters? your bag looks quite heavy." he smiled. "a little lady like you shouldn't have to carry all that," he said, trying to give her "the smoulder", "especially not such a pretty one."
xxxxxamorette laughed. "alright, casanova. if you're offering... then, yeah. knock yourself out!" she slid the bag off her back, and handed it to him. "these all need to be delievered around town. are you up for that?"
xxxxx"of course! anything for a gorgeous gal like you--OOF!" he was babbling as she slid the bag over to him, and when he picked it up, he could barely walk.
xxxxx"great! well, see ya around! good luck!" amorette began to walk away, but she turned around, as if remembering something important. "oh, and, by the way -- i'm not really interested. i mean, i've got a lot of people helping me!" she giggled. "sorry, dude!"
xxxxxas she left, bennett was still mesmerized. she doesn't think i'm cute... aw... am i too boring and simple? he shook his head. eh, it's alright. as long as i'm helping out! with that, ben, like so many others, began his journey to deliver love letters to fellow kalons.

I believe it was 10'o at night--No, 11'o. Something about the clock took me a second, probably the distant sound of a balloon putting around the room as frantic footsteps attempted to grab them. The loud and saddening flop of the deflated balloon slammed onto the tile floor. It was Valentine's day again. Well almost.
To be completely honest, the holiday itself was quite boring, besides the occasional cat fight from people who get into a late night rustle. Though I'm always the poor sap who has to jump in the middle. Most of the time, it's lonely idiots who wander into the commons after moping around the Campus. They come and go, but Amorette will never let me keep the party strict. I have no idea why she allows low-lives to come into the party. If anything, I should be the one to keep them out and away. But I'm too small, and too weak, and surely to passive for that.
Back to the life of the pre-party. A loud crack, followed by the unrelenting sound of tumbling paper zoomed throughout the small ballroom. I surely thought the failure would be louder, but I guess the carpet floor sucked the remaining noise. Thump-tacks and tape feel gracefully and bitterly to the ground. I was on the other side of the short wall, as I watched the fiasco happen. Amorette preformed a circus act. Or so it seemed.
It began with the bright purple balloon. The helium scooted out gently before Amorette subconsciously released the whole of the balloon, allowing it to fly around freely. She attempted to grab it, but ended up pulling the streamers she had a hold of, tearing it off of the wall. She turned quickly and sheepishly to the disaster, and tried to grab the fluttering paper, but seemed to make matters worse by pulling the other side. Amorette dropped the papers, and grabbed the other side, but couldn't realize that the crafty and bruised ladder was setting up for another tip. With a squeal and a tumble, she violently fell to the floor, with the plastic lining in her hand. It came down along with her, almost like dominoes. Amorette shook her hands anxiously, head diving into a run. "No! No stay up!" she wailed, following the trial. The last thumb-tack launched off, landing on the other side of the room, hitting a balloon, that graciously fizzled out. Amorette kept her hands up, and slowly out them on her head. I , being the quite person I am, didn't say a word, but I did sniffle a giggle.
Amorette sat and looked at the red clock '11'o'
She sighed and stood up, walking the trash to the dumpster out back. I felt an overwhelming sorrow for her. With a heavy scoff, I grabbed the 5 pound box of mixed balloons, and 2 tanks of Helium, and started to tie them off and release them into the roof.
It may have been 30 minutes until Amorette came back. She scooted to the back, taking a new roll of streamers and tacks. The squeaking of balloons certainly gave me away, but it added to the joy on her face.
Glittering colors of hundreds of balloons danced in the light from below. Amorette's wings fluttered lightly at the sight of a sky of pink, red and white. But one balloon caught her eye. A singular purple balloon was on the side, taunting Amorette. She sighed, but the joy was stopped for a second by the loud pop of it. She looked back to me, in a haze as I stood next to her with a second rubber band in hand. "You like purple?" I asked, my charismatic voice croaking the sweetness in the room. Amorette pushed me lightly in a friendly matter, before forcing me into a hug "Thanks Keenu" She muffled, squeezing my ribs to the very edge of breaking.
"No problem Cupid."
To be absolutely, completely honest. I think I enjoyed the occasional yelp from Amorette every-time I popped a balloon with a rubber band slingshot.
